Discharged!
February 20th 2009 06:30
I think our house has twenty-seven-umpteen (that's just under infinity) phone chargers, including ones we can longer figure what they belong to. And even when you can find one, it isn't the one you're looking for.
It's only taken forever, but phone companies like Nokia, Motorola and Vodafone, Samsung, Sony and Orange, have finally got their act together and agreed to produce a Universal phone charger. How they all managed to agree to do something so user-friendly is almost beyond comprehension, but let's all applaud them for doing so. It's a day of celebration!
The group has pledged to produce the universal charger by 2012, a date that sounds far away, but isn't. It will use Micro-USB —that's the slot in your laptop computer or PC where you plug in flash-disks and other such accessories.
While saving the world from being swamped with future unwanted chargers, it's going to be interesting to see whether there's anyone out there who's willing to put their hand up to rescue all the unwanted chargers that already exist, and will be even less useful once the universal comes in. Sounds like a marvellous project for some company with a bit of nounce.
